‘Chormacosm’, the world’s largest architectural colour system, makes a dramatic debut

Asian Paints, a global brand in the paints and colour technology space, has conceptualised and created the largest paint library in the world this year. The launch of Chromacosm by Asian Paints marks an impressive initiative by the brand. The world’s largest architectural colour system, Chromacosm is a unified repository of paint colours accessible to architects and designers.

The Rainbow and More

The brand leveraged a combination of meticulous technical expertise and visual precision, honed over decades, to create this comprehensive library. As Asian Paints’ MD and CEO Amit Syngle says, “The creation of Chromacosm is a reflection of our commitment to creativity and excellence in the field of colour technology. The repository offers a level of precision and variety that has never been seen before in the industry. [It] will revolutionise the way architects and designers approach colour selection.”

An Artist Speaks

Asian Paints collaborated with Suchi Reddy, New York-based architect, artist and founder of studio Reddymade, to mark the launch of this library of colours. She created an installation, an artistic interpretation of Chromacosm in 3D for the launch event that took place in Mumbai. For this contemplation on colour in 3D, she found inspiration in ancient tantric paintings. Reddy explored the limitless colour cosmos with a series of rods in a spectrum of shades, from black to vivid hues. “The installation references the coming together of all colours, which in paint becomes black and in light becomes white,” she elaborates.
